<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>A repeated concern is that we’re
always ‘behind the times’ when we do synthesis reports. There’s
a degree of truth to that, but taking material from multiple mainstream reports
should make our coverage more comprehensive, if albeit a little later.</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Second, is how can we work with others?
Blogs, Indymedia, and so on all generally have a bias and/or axe to grind. This
runs counter to NPOV.</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Third, original reporting. Considering the
size of the contributor base I think we do pretty well on this. Are there ways
we can attract more people to do investigative work? Should we be organising
things to have an online ‘Wikinews Rolodex’ for accredited
reporters?</span></font></p>
